Moved library to another mac on the network - can't open it! Help!

I needed some space on my MacBook, so moved my library to networked iMac. Library file is grayed out when I try to open it from iPhoto. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

MBPro, Mac OS X (10.4.7), 1 gb ram

Check the ownership and permissions on the Library.

Looked at that. All users have read and write permission. Even moved the library to the Shared folder. No luck. Any other thoughts? My HD on my MacBookPro is full. Any other suggestions on how to free up space?
thanks.

I figured out the problem.(called Apple support today) Turns out that iPhoto won't recognize a library on a networked computer. It will recognize the library if you have a removable hard drive connected directly to your wireless router.
